Dear Race Fans: Welcome to Thunder Valley! I’m sure you already know this but you’re in for a heck of a weekend! There’s absolutely no other venue on the circuit like Bristol Dragway, one of the most storied dragstrips in the world. Those of you who have been here before already know what I’m talking about; for those of you for whom this will be your first Thunder Valley experience, well, hang on because you’re in for a wild ride. In all honesty, once you’ve been to Bristol you just can’t get enough of it. When you experience the roar of the engines as they rocket through the valley and hear the most distinctive sound in the sport it’s pretty addictive. You’ll definitely never hear anything like it anywhere but Thunder Valley. The fact that we get to entertain you with such a spectacular drag racing show on Father’s Day also is something that’s pretty special. We know how important family is and you wanting to spend the weekend with us while you celebrate Dad’s big day means a lot to us… and let’s face it, it’s pretty cool to be able to bring your father out to Thunder Valley to see the biggest stars in the sport in action. For all of us at Bristol Dragway, our goal is to make sure you have the absolute best time possible while you’re here. Our hope is that when it’s time to head home you’re still talking about how much fun you had and are already making plans for a return trip to Thunder Valley. In truth, that’s how we measure our success because exceeding your expectations is our number one priority. I know this for certain: we’ve got the best team in the business working for you, committed to making your experience here an unforgettable one. To that end, please don’t hesitate to let me know how your weekend goes and if there’s anything at all we could have done to make it better. You can contact me at jerry@ bristolmotorspeedway.com or any other member of our team. I hope you all have a fantastic weekend! And thank you for choosing Bristol; trust me, there’s no other place in the world like it! Sincerely,
Jerry Caldwell, General Manager
